Mario Party 4 (マリオパーティ) is the fourth installment in the Mario Party series and the first to be released for the Nintendo GameCube. The game features eight playable characters from the Mario series, who can be directed on six themed game boards in the game. The objective of the game is to earn as many stars as possible, which are obtained by purchase from predefined space on the game board, or by bonuses. Each character's movement is determined by a roll of a die, with a roll from each player forming a single turn. Each turn in Mario Party 4 is followed by a mini-game, which is competed to earn money for the character, used to buy items and stars.

Problems
Photo Finish: Graphic errors
At the end of the mini game 'Photo Finish' one of the two penguins on the right side is not displayed correctly. Refer issue 11746.
Texture Seams
Texture seams appear on the left edge of message boxes in mini game descriptions. Also happens with 1× IR. Refer issue 8606.
Trace Race Crayon Doesn't Draw
If you play Trace Race with Texture Cache set to Fast or Medium, the crayon won't draw right away, lagging behind your movements. While this doesn't break the game's scoring, it can be quite disorienting. To fix this, set the Texture Cache slider to 'safe'. Refer issue 10705.
Paths of Peril: Shadow Errors
In the mini-game Paths of Peril, some shadows of players or AI opponents are displayed incorrectly if the hack 'Store EFB Copies to Texture only' is activated. To fix the problem, this hack must be disabled.
Z-Fighting
In some rare cases Z-Fighting may occur if the Hack 'Fast depth calculation' is activated. To fix the problem, this hack must be disabled.(For example, Z-Fighting occurs at the end of playing Toad's Midway Madness in single player mode when the player receives his gift.)

Distorted Text Boxes
The texture for the text backdrop will become heavily distorted if Force Texture Filtering is enabled. This is fixed since at least 5.0-10411.
16:9 Widescreen Gecko Code
Nintendo
The built-in Widescreen Hack causes various indirect texture and clipping issues. The following Gecko code works as a replacement, causing fewer issues. To avoid conflicts, make sure that Widescreen Hack is disabled while using this code.
